What Kind Of Information Does "Never Fade Garment Industry" Need?
Clothing industry, because of its close proximity to people's daily life and market demand, has always been called a "never declining industry" and has a very broad development prospect. As a "world factory", China opened up the silk road more than 2000 years ago, and has a very long history of garment export. Up to now, China has produced tens of billions of garments annually, and mastered the market share of over 60% of the global garment industry. With the rapid development of information technology in the late twentieth Century and twenty-first Century, the modern society has entered the information industry from industrialization, thus promoting all walks of life to take the road of information management, especially in the clothing industry.
The development of China's garment industry informatization is not optimistic.
In mid twentieth Century, the garment industry experienced the competition from product output, product quality to production cost. In twenty-first Century, the market competition of garment industry has changed to the competition speed of garment enterprises to the market, the brand of clothing products and the technological innovation ability of garment enterprises, thus promoting the development of information technology to catch up with the pace of the times, and has become an important support for the success or failure of garment enterprises.
In western developed countries, automated management system and intelligent decision support, as well as the application of electronic commerce have been very extensive. The development and application of information management software has been very mature. Some well-known enterprises in garment industry have built advanced information management systems such as logistics supply chain management, business intelligence and comprehensive budget management on the basis of ERP, and our country still has a big gap in this respect.
According to statistics, the application of financial software, CAD design software and ERP software is relatively common in China's relatively large garment enterprises, but this is not enough to cope with today's fierce market competition. For large garment manufacturers, procurement, production, distribution and other processes have more and more dependence on and demand for supply chain management and logistics. Only ERP system can not meet the needs of enterprise development and competition. Therefore, most clothing enterprises in China choose to develop their own roads. At first, it was often because of the urgent need to manage high inventory, and had to spend a long time developing inventory management system. Then, there was a problem with the purchase, and then began to write the procurement system. More and more independent modules form an isolated island of information, and the operation of the entire enterprise is hindered by various obstacles. How can these isolated and immature systems help companies face huge market competition in twenty-first Century?
And those more small clothing enterprises, part of it is even the financial software is not clear about anything, let alone other management software!
Logistics supply chain management has become a breakthrough in China's apparel industry informatization.
According to the national garment science and Technology Information Center, with the government's great efforts to promote the informatization of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, especially after China's accession to the WTO, the informatization level of China's clothing industry has been greatly improved compared with before. In order to cope with the challenges from the world, China's garment enterprises must further reduce their own operating costs, only in this way can we ensure the quality improvement of "made in China" on the basis of low price. And how to reduce operating costs? Some foreign agencies have pointed out the way for us. The comprehensive analysis shows that in a whole supply chain system of a commodity, the cost of non production has exceeded 80%. Among them, the logistics cost of goods accounted for more than 40%, and time cost accounted for more than 90% of the entire supply chain. It can be seen that logistics supply chain has become the best way for Chinese clothing enterprises.
Most of the garment enterprises in China belong to labor-intensive enterprises, and the degree of automation is relatively low, which brings great difficulty to the realization of informatization in the apparel industry. The business process of garment enterprises is very complex and cumbersome. Many garment enterprises need to deal with hundreds of inventory units every day, and manage countless styles, structures, customer identities and even more data. In this highly complex management, supply chain management characterized by precise prediction, procurement management, production planning and distribution management is particularly important.
At the same time, China's clothing industry mostly takes OEM as its main business. Punctual delivery has become an essential element for our garment manufacturers. If the delivery is not in time or if the goods are delivered without delivery, the customer satisfaction will be lost and the customer will be lost. The establishment of an efficient and integrated supply chain system, like the establishment of a smooth highway between enterprises and suppliers, distributors and customers, can reduce the time between each step and compress the pfer time to near zero.
Shen Guokang, President of China's largest supply chain management software supplier, Boko information, pointed out: "it is very important for an enterprise to become bigger and stronger and brand building." Although China's garment industry has gradually increased its own brand enterprises in recent years, there is still a big gap between the garment manufacturers and the western developed countries. Clothing enterprises run their brands, four factors are essential: price, product quality, marketing and channels. Of the four factors, most of the top three garment enterprises have no problems, and the last channel management needs the support of information technology, especially the supply chain management. Purchasing and inventory control is very important for garment enterprises in terms of channel management. Supply chain management can effectively reduce the shortage of stores on the one hand, and on the other hand, the storage of branches and factories also backlogs the phenomenon of stock in the mountains. Practice has proved that effective control of market demand and supply chain can help enterprises to simplify the complexity, monitor cash flow, avoid overexpansion and underwork, and then get high rate of return on assets.
